ANTS AND THEIR WAYS.
Their Love of Cleanliness and Their
 Modes Of Burial.

Their Love of Cleanliness and Their
 Modes Of Burial.
 In spite of the multisaious duties and tasks that are imposed on these tiny burghers, they still find time to clean and adorn their worthy little persons No spot, no atom of dust or anything else unclaanly will they tolerate on their bodies. They get rid of the dirt with the brushy tufts on their feet or with their tongue. They act, for all the world, like domestic cats when they clean and lick themselves: and they as- sist one another at the toilet precisely like monkeys. Their sense of cleanliness goes so far that the JAt1ralist oftR finds, to his unpleasa Serprise-. colored marlrsA7755~ Iiisa5 q pied wiSt- so much care on his "trial ants" removed by their dirt-hating friends. They keep their dwellings just as cleaniy.
 But the conveying away of their de- ceased brethren, whose dead bodies they appear to regard with the greatest an- tipathy, gives them more trouble than anything else. When some members Of Of an ant community, which 1Ir. Cook kept imprisoned, died and could not be removed, those remaining seemed affected with the greatest horror. For days the insects ran about seeking a way out, and ceased only when completely exhausted. Tho ants belonging to the campontUs species seized the dead and threw them into a water pail, which they converted into @ supulcher. Ordi- narily, though, the ants are said to treat their dead with more reverence. They even possess their own graveyards, which lie in the vicinity of their nests. They convey their deceased companions thither, where they lay them down in orderly little heaps or in rows.
 It is only the corpscs Of their fellows, however, that they treat in this man. ner. Dead strangers they throw out like something Unciean, or tear the body in pieces. Even t5stEeen the master and slaves of the same community Miss Treat says she has observed dissimilar mode of burial While the masters find their last repose in @ special graveyard, side by side, the slaves lie like heaped-up refuse near the nest, Gespised equally in death as in life.
 The ant cemeteries are often thickly populated, for their life is short. The male lives only through one summer: the female lives somewhat longer, and the workers die of old age in the 8th or 10th year.-The Cosmopolitan.

An old liro,s R.der rn1rcs.

Barnum and Forepaugh are the only successful and wealthy circus men Of to-day. 1 should say they are equally wealthy, Forepaugh having the advan- tage of being alone and getting all the profits, while Barnum has to divide with his partners. Both are in the habit of investing all their surplus in real estate, Banum owning a section Of Bridgeport, while Forepaugh has numerous houses in Philadelphia. In the olden days more money was made in tue circus business, because the expenses and risks were not SC great as now, especially in the matter Of ground rent and license. 4 dozen or so of horses, four or five cages of ami nlaIs, one elephant one camel, and twenty people all told constituted the cutfit; there were no double mammoth tents. no droves of elephants, no herd Of camels, or stud of horses.-Eaton Stone in New York Times.

Conferrinc Honorary Degrees.

Graduates of one. of the colleges of New York are circulating Q petition among the alumni for submission to the trustees. asking tl.at the practice of con ferring honorary degrees be discontinued. Their arguments are that socialistc titles should represent work actually per formed in the institution granting the degree, that the selection of a few alumni for gratJitous bonor5 will breed dissatisfaction and dls.oyalty among the rest, that the crossroads colleges are giving honorary degrees right and left as a reward for all sorts Of services, that the older and better universities are be- coming more and more conservative in granting academic honOrs without eX- animation, and finally that the board of regents of that state is qualified to con fer all the honorary degrees necessary.

EDUCATION FOR THE FARM.

President Adams, of Cornell Uni
versity, New York, in an address to
the class at Amherst, Mass, on the
necessity of education and general in
telligence for the successful prosecu-
ton of agriculture, held that these,
added to practical knowledge Of de-
tails, we're essential to complete success.
Among the points made were, while
admitting there were many excellent
farmers with limited education who
worked their holdings with profit, he
had never met one of those who did
not wish his range of information was
wider, and who did not envy the neigh
bors whose schooling gave great and
lasting advantages.
The fact Of cultivated intelligence
was always apparent in the farm gen,
orally, as well as in the farmhouse and
its surroundings.
Education does not lessen the capac-

given to strong drink. 1t reduced me
to degradation. | vowed and strove
long and hard, but l seldom held vic
tory over liquor long. hated drunk
enness, but still [ drank. When I
left off I felt a horrid want of some
thing [ must have or go distracted. I
could neither eat, work o sleep. I
entered a reformatory and prayed for
strength; still [ must drink. [ lived
so for over 20 years; in that time |
never abstained three months from
hard drinking. At length [ was sent
to the House of Correction as a vagrant.
If my family had been provided for [
would have preferred to remain there,
out of the way of liquor and of temp
tation. Explaining my affection to a
fellow-prisoner, a man of much educa-
ton and experience, he advised me to
make a drink of ground quassia, a
half ounce stepped in a pint of vinegar,
and to put a small teaspoonful of it in
a little water, and drink it down every
time the liquor thirst came upon me
violently. [ found it satisfied the
cravings, and suffused a feeling Of
stimulation and strength. When l
was discharged I continued this cure,
and persevered until the thirst was
conquered. For two years [ have not
tasted liquro, and [ have no desire for
it. Lately, to try my strength, | have
handled and smelt whiskey, but have
no temptation to take it. [ give this

ity of a nan for physical labor. On
the contrary, it enables him to use his
brain as actively as his hands; and
while the latter are using the hoe or
handling the pillow the former is sys-
tematizing in detail other and more
complicated work. :
Comparing what had been done in
Europe and in America, President
Adams said:
"Prussia alone has four higher agri-
cultural Colleges with some eighty pro-
fe%ssorships; she has more than forty
lesser schools, all having model farms;
she has five special schools for the cul-
tivation Of meadows and the scientific
studies of methods of irrigation; she
has one special school for the teaching
Of those who desire to reclaim swamp
lands; she has two special schools for
the teaching of those who intend to
grow industrial nurseries; she has a
school for teaching horse-shoeing, one
for teaching silk-raising, one for the
raising Of bees and one for teaching
the cultivation of fish. Besides all
these she has twenty special schools
for the education of gardeners, and
fifteen schools for the training of those
who are to cultivate the grape.
"The example of Prussia has been
initiated by the other German States.
The little kingdom of Bavaria, scarce
ly larger than Massachusetts, has
twenty-six agricultural colleges, be-
sides more than 200 agricultural asso-
Citations. Wurtemburg, still smaller
in area, has sixteen colleges and
seventy-six associations. Baden, with
a population of only a million, has
fourteen agricultural colleges, besides
four schools of gardening and forestry.
Saxony, with it's dense population of
two millions, compacted into a space
hardly larger than two American
counties, has four higher colleges
and twenty agricultural schools, be-
sides a veterinary college and a de-
partment of agriculture with twenty
professors at the University Of Leip
sic. SAKE Weimer, with a population
Of no more than $780, 900 souls, has
three agricultural colleges besides an
agricultural department with fifteen
professorships at the University of
Jena.
"And what has been the result ?
Simply this, that while in every one
Of the American States, as is shown
by the agricultural reports, the aver
age crop per acre has been steadily
growing less and less, the average
crop in Germany has been as steadily
growing more. In view of these facts,
we ought to bow our heads in shame.
At least let us cease our contemplate
can't about the superiority of u edu-
c~ational facilities"

SHE CAME AND WENT.

She came and went, as comes and goes
The dewdrop on the morning rose,
or as the n lights that die
At shut of day along the sky.
Her coming made the dawn more bright,
Her going brought the sombre night;
Her coming made the blossoms shine,
Her going made them droop and pine;
Whene'er the twinkling feet did pass,
Beneath them greener grew the grass /;
The song-birds ruffled their small Threats
To swell for her their blithest notes;
But when she went, the blushing day
Sank into silence chill and gay,
The dark its sable van unfurled,
And sudden night possessed the world.
o fond desires that wake in vain
She meier will come to US again;
And now, like vanished perfume sweet,
Her memory grows more vague and fleet,
Yet we rejoice that morn by morn
The sad old world seems less forlorn.
Since once SO bright a vision came
To touch our lives with heavenly flame,
And show to our bewildered eyes
What beauty dwells in paradise.
